"..."Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea" is an uncommonly pretty show, a tropical vision of ocean blue and foam white. This isn't just director Timothy Douglas dressing up the new 80-minute play with his snappy staging for Theater Alliance. Nathan Alan Davis's script is sunny and lovable, despite its inexorable pull from present-day Baltimore toward the slave trade's notorious Middle Passage."

There are dreams—and then there are Dreams. Small dreams spring from the random synaptic firing triggered by the stresses of the brain’s day: dreams of teeth falling out or playing the piccolo nude in front of a group of strangers. But then there are other kinds of Dreams: prophetic, true and real in the deepest sense of those words. Those subconscious sparks can light conscious fires so hot they reforge reality.
